Everything
is going in the right direction for the Leiden Cubs. They are able to go 6-6
during
a tough sim
schedule and expand their lead with 3,5 games. The Cubs took 3 of 5 from the
Pittsburgh Pirates and only won 3 of 8
from the Cincinnati Red Stockings.
Jim Edmonds had
a tough start in
.273 On Base Percentage. Cubs number 3 starter Hideo Nomo
also had a very bad sim, his ERA
is now up to a shocking 6.00. Richie Sexson is cooling off a bit, he belted 2 homers in the last
2
weeks, but is still leading the league with 24.
The
Cubs have 9 more meetings with the Washington Nationals, and 3 meetings with
the
Philadelphia
Stars before the All Star Break arrives. If the Cubs are able to survive the
next 2
weeks without to much damage, nobody is
going to stop them in their push for a playoff spot.
